Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to install Debian 9 using:

debian-live-9.0.1-amd64-kde.iso

I downloaded it from:

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-9.0.1-amd64-kde.iso

and already checked the md5sum. Everything seems to be OK in Live mode but when I try to install
(both graphical and in text mode) I can't go forward after configuring the network, the reason seems
to be that this version of the installer doesn't allow to continue without using a mirror, if I ignore this 
step (Choose a mirror of the Debian archive) and go with the next one (Set up users and passwords)
everything goes fine but "Install the system" fails with this error:

Debootstrap error
Failed to determine the codename for the release.


Maybe I get this error because I can't access internet in that host, but I will use a local mirror later.
Now I can't use any mirror and I can't install at least the live system, I mean, I think it's usefull at least
to replicate the live system with the desktop environment I want to use.

Thanks for your time.

And thank you for filing these installation bug reports, they have been very 
useful at the time they were filed!
If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing
in recent installation images, please file a new report for that!
